Ahhh, Painted Canyon. The colorway in Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn! that has taken the fiber loving community by storm. For months I’ve been racking my brain to come up with the perfect pattern for this gorgeous yarn, and this Painted Canyon Hooded Cardigan is it, folks!

Painted Canyon Hooded Cardigan

This Hooded Cardigan crochet pattern is probably the favorite of all of my crochet patterns. Or… my favorite, anyway. It is warm. Has a hood. It has a flowy collar. IT. HAS. POCKETS. And don’t forget the gorgeous Painted Canyon colors. Did I mention it has pockets?!

Originally making this cardigan for myself only, I decided to go ahead and write up the pattern so that others that also love the Painted Canyon colorway could crochet and love it as well. Then I thought “why stop with just one size”? So I added six more sizes so that the pattern now includes adult: 0/2, 2/4, 6/8, 10/12, 14/16, 16/18, 18/20, 22/24, and 26/28.

Just LOOK at those colors! ♥

For this pattern I used two testers for each size. Testing is important and when it comes to sizes and body types the more the merrier, I say! Speaking of sizes, make sure you measure your gauge before starting!

There are two ways to do the pockets: outside and inside. Outside is certainly easier as you can place them wherever you wish without having to alter the pattern. I have also included instructions for making the sleeves cuff to shoulder and shoulder to cuff. This way if you’re controlling the colors it will be easier! Yay!

This ADULT Painted Canyon Hooded Cardigan crochet pattern is available on Ravelry and Etsy.

The child sizes of the Painted Canyon free:

Get the preemie and newborn sleep sacks here.
Get the infant size 6 month infant here.
Get the infant size 12 month here.
Get the child size 2/3T here.
Get the child size 4/5T here.
Get the child size 6/8 here.
Get the child size 10/12 here.

And of course you can get the ADULT sizes of this pattern (0 – 28W) here or here.

Want all of the child sizes together? Grab all of the child sizes in one printable file here!

For the adult size 6/8, as pictured, I used three skeins of the Painted Canyon, two skeins of the Graphite, and two skeins of the Light Gray – all I Love This Yarn! Can you believe that the only stitch used is the half double crochet?! Crazy right?

If you would like to make a solid color not only will you have a lot less ends to weave in but you will also use a lot less yarn! The spike stitches account for quite a bit more yardage, but then again I don’t think the color changes would be the same without them!

Head on over to Ravelry or Etsy to get your pattern. Thank you for loving this pattern, and for your ongoing support! I’m thrilled to be able to continue creating awesome and easy-to-read crochet patterns at a reasonable price.

I want to see yours!!! Share photos of your Painted Canyon Hooded Cardigan with me by tagging @HeartHookHome on Instagram and Twitter, and by sharing in the Heart Hook Home Crochet Community group on Facebook!

Your links don't all work. Immediately following the children's sizes, you say: "Get the ADULT sizes of this pattern (0 – 28W) here." Unfortunately, "here" just keeps bringing me back to the same page. No adult sizes. I hope going directly to Ravelry will work better.

I’m making the 0/1 size pattern to my daughter. She would like the hood to come down further over her head. I don’t want to frog. Would it work if I added more rows before the hdc2together in the center? Any other ideas?

Hi, is the pattern for this still just hdc? like the childrens ones? i want to do a solid colour one but it looks different to the simplicity of the childrens ones and i don't want to buy the pattern to find its not the same. so really my question is, is this just the same as the childrens ones but for adult sizes?

Hi Ashlea, I do love this jacket so much and have some yarn I would like to try and use for it but I only have 800gms...approx 1520 yards. Is this going to be enough for a size 14/16 please? I'm not being funny but I can't really afford to buy pattern just to discover I don't have enough yarn so need to sort that out first. Thanks so much for creating this fabulous jacket - fingers crossed I have enough to make it!

I just started the 1st row of the hood pattern & where it says to HDC2TOG across entire neck area (for smaller hood), does that mean that I do the HDC2TOG in the 1st corner, than HDC2TOG across the next 18 stitches with last HDC2TOG in next corner stitch?

Hi ,Ashlea Nancy here with the sleeve question, I guess what I’m trying to say is that the body looks different because we turn our work when working so it has sort of like a raised texture, but with the sleeves we go in rounds( by the way I’m doing the sleeve#2) and it doesn’t have that raised texture , the raised texture is in the inside of the sleeve . so what I’m trying to say is am I doing something wrong? Or is it suppose to look like that , and when doing the sleeve do you work with right or wrong side facing? Please help!!! Thanks!

  Hi Nancy! Yes you're doing it right. If you want to do back and forth in rows it would give it more of ribbed look, but it is possible that the seam would get wonky. You could do them inside out if you want the ridges. Hope that helps!

Hi Ashley, I’m crocheting your canyon cardigan and I’m to the part of the sleeves and for some reason the stitch pattern of the half double crochet looks strange too me, the pattern of the body is going side to side but once you start the sleeve the pattern looks different can you please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to make the sleeves look like the body, I have frogged more times than I can count and I’m about ready to give up which I don’t want to, but I can’t find another solution! Please help!!!! Thanks in advance

Hi Ashlea, I just purchased the pattern and have a question. I'm rather tall, 5'10 and am wondering, in the note section where you say to add rows before starting the armhole panel, does that mean instead of stopping at row 57, I continue to add rows so I will have a different # of rows when I begin the arm panels? So instead of beginning the arm hole at row 57 I may begin at row 67? and then I continue on? And the row counts will change after that as well? So instead of Row 58-80, I will have row 68-90? I hope this makes sense.

  Hello! It depends on if you're doing outside pockets or inside. If you do them as outside pockets, you'll just crochet in solid rows until you get to row 60 (or so) and hold it up to your torso with the top touching your underarms. If it is long enough, go ahead and start the armholes, if not, do another few rows and check again. What you describe is perfect!

Hi Ashley I made the toddler hooded jacket for my granddaughter and it came out beautiful. My daughter in law loves it so much she wants one exactly the same. Same stitch as well. I have no problem buying your painted canyon pattern but I don’t want to use anything but the HDC stitch. How do I decipher the pattern with just that stitch. Thank you

Can you please tell me why the child’s 2-3 is so different from the other patterns? It has the same number of stitches for the front as the 4/5. The hood is also different. Did I miss a revised pattern for the 2/3. The front overlaps each other by several stitches.

I love this pattern, but I have a question about it. I don't know if I'm reading it wrong or not. I'm making one with pockets on the outside and it said to skip to row 56. Is that correct, or do you have to work the previous rows as well? I'm only asking because it seemed very short when I skipped the rows between the bottom and the armholes.

    I am a plus size, usually a 1X or 2X. I measured my hips and decided I needed to start with 150 foundation hdc. I did that and it was in no way big enough. To get it to go around and just meet I needed 210 fhdc. I don't crochet particularly tight - I'm using I love this yarn Sand Dunes so its a worsted weight. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the reply about going to row 56 - I had that same question!!

      Hi Diane! Did you check the measurement suggestion on the pattern? I've noticed that I *really* have to loosen up my tension when I do the foundation stitches, or it bunches up the following few rows and everything turns out much bigger than anticipated. I also wonder if you need to go up a hook size, if only for the foundation row. Hope that helps!

        The sizes do run a bit large. I typically wear a 10-12 but I make the 6-8 version of this and it is form fitting. It really just depends on how tight you want it to be. Hope that helps!

I think, if I am correct, that the 22/24 has been completed; however I'm still waiting on the 4X. I purchased my pattern the night you presented the beautiful cardigan and it was my understanding the 4X would be out in around 3-3 weeks. I'm not real sure about that but I would like to know if I'm going to get my 4X pattern. If I continue to be sick like I have been in the last 3 months, then the 3X might work. That would be good.

  Hi Lynn, The 4x is ready and tested, but the 0/2 size is still not finished testing. I don't want to do too many updates so I will do them both at the same time. I can go ahead and send you the 4x part if you like separately, the sizes do run a bit on the large side also. Let me know if you want it and I'll get it send over.

I have looked all over for a pattern like this.... I am thinking about doing this in Mandala (light weight of 3), not doing the color changes, and not doing the extra stitch you are using on the color changes. Do you think this would work out OK? I love your colors, but I am too lazy to make all those changes! And I hate weaving in ends! LOL.

I did one with the same hook and size pattern, then I did one with a smaller hook size and a larger pattern size. Both turned out great!

  August 13, 2017 at 12:02 pm
  
  Hey! You can use a DK weight yarn, just be sure to check the gauge. Since you're short, you'll want to do fewer rows between the armholes. So instead of starting the arms at row 56 (or whatever size you're making) you should probably check them at row 45 or so. If you're on gauge, every 10 rows = 4" in height. Does that help?
